Great question! So one of the things that's great is that there are now multiple front ends to access the ecosystem. Hive.blog is the old Steemit.com basically. Very basic stuff.

Peakd uses the same content but the website is a far cry upgrade to hive.blog with all kinds of better features and more organization! I use PeakD exclusively on my laptop and on my phone as well. For my phone though, one of the best apps to access the ecosystem is called Ecency. You accumulate usage points by using it and then you can use those points to "boost" one of your posts with some votes. It's helpful to get yourself back on track!

With those two front ends, you'll be in great shape in no time!

Ohhh okay. Cool. So posting on of the front-end dapps will auto-post over here on hive.blog I imagine - but my user experience will be better on Peakd? Makes sense. Thanks for the clarification. I'll check out Ecency too. Appreciate you!

Yeah there are a few front ends. The main ones are PeakD, hive.blog, Ecency and Leo Finance. Leo is dedicated to crypto blogging but the others are for whatever.

They all point to the underlying Hive blockchain infrastructure which is great.

Also, don't know if you are on a phone or a laptop but the Hive Keychain app is the most secure way to do anything financial like powering up etc. because it encrypts the keys on your device and broadcasts the signed transaction. A bit more than you might need right now but it's all about safety!

Awesome, thanks so much for all the help - really appreciate the tips as I attempt reintegration. :)
